Turkey and Potato Pockets image

This is a recipe thrown together based on what I had on hand. My husband loved it and told me to write it down, so here it goes. Let me know what you think. It's a savory little pastry that's fairly hearty and can be spiced a thousand different ways. The base is the turkey, potatoes, and pastry and the cook can make up the rest! I just threw this together without measuring so the measurements are just guesses. Prepare it to taste.

Time 1h45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 potatoes, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 pound ground turkey
½ onion, chopped
¼ cup salsa
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
3 tablespoons steak sauce (such as A1®)
2 tablespoons spicy mustard
1 pinch garlic powder, or to taste
salt and ground black pepper to taste
¼ bunch fresh cilantro, chopped
1 (17.5 ounce) package frozen puff pastry, thawed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease 2 baking sheets.
  • Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until softened but not fully cooked, about 5 minutes. Drain.
  • Cook and stir turkey in a skillet over medium-high heat until no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium; stir in potatoes, onion, salsa, Worcestershire sauce, steak sauce, mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Simmer until sauce is reduced and no longer soupy, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir in cilantro.
  • Place 1 puff pastry sheet on each baking sheet. Cut pastry into thirds using the fold lines as a guide. Cut each third into 2 rectangles.
  • Drop large spoonfuls of turkey-potato mixture on one side of each pastry rectangle. Fold pastry over filling and pinch edges to seal.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until pastry is puffed up and golden brown, about 1 hour.

Overall, these pockets were a good experiment, but I don't think I'll be making them again.

I had to cook the pockets for a few extra minutes because they weren't cooked through in the time specified in the recipe.

The filling was a bit bland. I think I'll add some more herbs and spices next time.

These pockets were a bit too greasy for my taste.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my pockets didn't turn out as golden brown as the ones in the pictures. They were still tasty though.

I'm not a big fan of turkey, but I really enjoyed these pockets. The potatoes and cheese balanced out the flavor of the turkey perfectly.

I was short on time so I used pre-made puff pastry. It worked great and the pockets still turned out amazing.

I substituted sweet potato for the regular potato and added a bit of chopped bacon to the filling. They were delicious!

I made these pockets exactly as the recipe stated and they turned out perfectly. The pastry was flaky and the filling was moist and flavorful. I will definitely be making these again.
